The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
Seeing that the king and the king were talking so affectionately but not understanding a word, Petya waved his hand to Atahualpa and left the room. As soon as he left the house, he saw the beautiful Queen Anna Maya waving to him in front of the door of the next cabin. He walked over and asked, "What do you want from me?"
She put a small glass mirror in his hand and said, "Please return this thing to that Robert, and just say that I cannot accept such a valuable thing." Because she had stayed there for a long time, she usually Spaniards can understand some Indian languages. Therefore, Peterya certainly understood what Queen Anna meant.
He also knew that the mirrors used by the Inca royal family and nobles were made of silver, while the mirrors used by the princes and nobles were made of gold. They cast silver and gold into a circle, and then polished it continuously, so that the mirror surface was very smooth and clean. It became their daily mirror. Ordinary people don't have mirrors at home. If they want to see their own appearance, they can only look in a water tank. Therefore, this kind of glass mirror brought from Spain is very precious and rare, because even the Inca King didn't have one. Such a mirror. So, he said, "It doesn't matter. Since he gave it to you, you should accept it."
But Queen Anna said, "I have no reason to accept such an expensive gift. Let's return it to him." After saying that, she turned around and entered the hut.
Petya put the small mirror in his pocket, walked to the door of the temple, and chatted with the soldiers standing outside the door. At this moment, Robert was seen riding over from the military camp. Petya came over and said jokingly, "Mr. Lieutenant, you must have something important to do here, right?"
Robert's face couldn't help but blush, because he knew that Petya knew that he was deeply infatuated with Queen Anna Maya. Because after meeting Queen Anna Maya that day, his soul was completely taken away. For many days his whole thought was about Queen Anna. She was so pure and holy, yet so graceful and luxurious, that he fell in love with her and couldn't let go of her. Originally, he was not supposed to love the queen of the Inca Kingdom, but he knew that sooner or later Atahuallpa would be executed by the Marquis, and once Atahuallpa was executed, something would happen to Princess Ana Maya as the queen. . Therefore, he was very worried about the future of this young, beautiful, holy and noble Inca queen.
Robert jumped off the horse, patted Petya on the shoulder and said, "You have to be careful. I will take care of your secret possession of gold in front of the Marquis."
Petera smiled and said, "That's right, we are buddies." After saying that, he took out the small glass mirror from his pocket and placed it in front of Robert.
Robert was startled and said, "Why do you have this thing in your hand?"
Peterya said, "This is what you gave to others. They thought it was too valuable and couldn't afford it, so let me give it back to you."
Robert took the small mirror and didn't say a word for a long time, looking very disappointed. Peterya comforted him and said, "She is really a good woman, but she is the queen of the Inca king. No matter how deeply you love her, you can't get her. So, I advise you, forget it, don't worry about whether you can get her or not." It’s hard to get into trouble with everything you get.”
But Robert shook his head and said, "I love her so much that I can't help myself." Then he sighed long and said, "Besides, I feel sorry for her. Do you want to Even if the gold in the house is full, will the Marquis let the king out? I don’t think so. If we let him go, we may all be wiped out by the Incas. Therefore, the fate of the Inca king will definitely not end. That’s great, so I’m very worried about her future situation.”
Petya thought for a while and said, "If you pity her, sympathize with her and love her, you can only wait until the fate of the Inca King has come to an end before you get her."
"By then, it may be too late," Rolbert said.
Petya said puzzledly, "How come it's late?"
"By that time, the situation was in chaos and who knew what kind of disaster would happen to her," Robert said.
As he spoke, Robert said in a sincere tone, "Brother, do me a favor. Tell her that I want to see her and wait for her in the woods in front of the door at night. See you there or not."
Petya sighed helplessly and said, "You are so stubborn that you won't look back until you hit the wall."
Seeing Robert's dejected and unhappy figure riding away, Peter sighed deeply, thinking that this literary man was really weird. There were so many young and beautiful women that he couldn't choose or love, but he couldn't. It is really incomprehensible to fall in love with a married woman who is also the queen of the Inca king.
As soon as he returned to the temple, the prince who guarded the gate called him and said that the king was waiting for him to play chess. He entered the room of the Inca King's council room, sat down at the table, and prepared to continue playing the last game. However, the Inca King said to him very happily, "Prince Bescarra just said that a large amount of gold will be shipped here from Cusco soon, so I will be able to get out of here soon."
Petera smiled and said, "Really? Then I congratulate you."
King Inca said, "When I become king again, I will invite you to the palace to play chess with me every day." Then he said, "My palace is very, very big, and it is very elegant and luxurious inside. The grounds are spacious and comfortable.”
Petya said in an envious tone, "That's great, I haven't entered the palace yet."
The two of them were talking and playing chess, and it was evening before they knew it. Because Petera thought that Robert would have a date with Queen Anna that night, but he hadn't told Queen Anna about it yet. So, he wanted to go to Queen Anna secretly before the Inca King ate, because this kind of thing could not be seen by Atahualpa and other concubines. The quarrel between Martin and Gina has not calmed down yet, so Dezina is still locked up in that pitiful hut. If others see him and Queen Anna secretly together, they will definitely cause even greater trouble.
Pretending to be a sentry in the inspection yard, he walked to the door of the small house where Queen Anna lived, knocked gently, and heard a voice calling from inside, "Come in."
Petera entered the house, because the doors of Indian houses were always open. Only when no one was at home, a stick would be placed in front of the door to block the door, indicating that no one was home and no one was allowed to enter.
Ana was sitting on the bed, teaching a four-year-old girl to do a housework with camel hair. When she saw Petya entering the room, she said in half-baked Spanish, "Sir, is something wrong?"
Petya said, "I returned the small mirror to him. He seemed very painful. He said that he loved you very much and that he was very worried about your future situation. Therefore, he asked you to go to the monastery after dark at night. Meet him in the woods in front of the door. He'll be waiting for you there, and he's still saying goodbye."
